I am an avid reader myself, with a large personal book collection. Reading is certainly a privilege that I have enjoyed, and my aim is to encourage and assist my students become the readers they were meant to be! We work on phonics, reading comprehension, and fluency in reading. Grammar and vocabulary are also included.
I enjoy introducing students to literature, biographies, and general history, as well.
I have always been interested in history, in general. However, I do take a special interest in Black History, worldwide. I have done some teaching with children to enhance their learning of the many people, worldwide, that have been important influencers in Black and Caribbean History. I especially like to teach about Canadian Black History, which seems to be lesser known.
I am available to introduce your student to topics in general world history. I love history and there is so much to learn. Feel free to ask!
